The War at Sea from Hawaii to Malaya (ハワイ・マレー沖海戦, Hawai Mare Oki Kaisen) is a 1942 black-and-white Japanese war film directed by Kajiro Yamamoto, with special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya.
Film making; miniature set of the Pearl Harbor and American warships
Hawai Mare oki kaisen was the most costly film made in Japan up to that time, costing over $380,000, when a typical film cost no more than $40,000.[2][3] It used special effects and miniature models to create realistic battle scenes. These were intercut with genuine newsreel material to create the appearance of a documentary. The film was released during the week of the first anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
It was confiscated by Supreme Command Allied Powers after the war, who mistook it for genuine news footage of the attack, and it was released by Movietone as such.[2][3]
Reception
Joseph L. Anderson comments that Hawai Mare oki kaisen was "representative of the national-policy films", with the aim of dramatising "the Navy Spirit as culminated at Pearl Harbor." Critics at the time considered it the best film of 1942.[2]
